TIME to GROW
We learn from the New Testament that the early church grew in dramatic strides. The church multiplied from a few to many in a short time as the message of Jesus Christ was shared from person to person. That is the strategy that Jesus taught. That’s the prerequisite for joining our “Time to Grow” Team in 2008. This is a very focused outreach ministry that needs YOU to be successful! It’s also a team that could change our church forever as we reach out to new people, inviting them to worship, and helping them connect to Christ and our church. All you do is commit to attend two meetings: April 13, 2008, from 4:30 to 6:30pm and a Celebration Banquet on December 7, 2008 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. This involves the central purpose of every Christian, sharing the Good News. Our goal is to build a 500 member team which will make this the largest commitment of community effort we’ve ever made. You are critical to our success in making God’s love visible through our efforts to grow. |
